Old J Dark Spiced Rum is a dark spiced rum with 40% alcohol, produced in the British Virgin Islands. It is distilled in traditional copper pot stills and aged in oak barrels for 12 to 24 months. This rum combines rich notes of salted caramel, toffee, and spices, with subtle hints of vanilla and Persian lime, offering a complex and intense flavor profile.


Old J Dark Spiced Rum is perfect for enjoying neat or as an ingredient in cocktails, adding depth and character to your favorite drinks. It is available in a 70cl bottle and can be ordered online with delivery within the United Kingdom.

About Old J

It all started in 1740, when Admiral Edward Vernon enforced a reduction in the strength of the British Navy’s rum ration. When his men complained, Vernon suggested the addition of limes and sugar to make the drink more enjoyable. Old J has been created in honour of this unlikely mixologist who was known as Old Grog.


However, Old J brings Vernon´s concept into the 21st Century by using the finest Caribbean Rum combined with our secret blend of spices, sugar, vanilla and Persian lime. It took over sixty trials before the perfect harmony of ingredients was found, and Old J’s smooth and spicy flavour profile was born.


Old J is now available in seven unique varieties, with the same blended base spirit used throughout—except for in Old J Gold, which uses a British Virgin Isles rum from a pot still.
